Description
- Support up to 5A (peak) and 4A(continuous) of total current
- Control 8channels Servo independently
- Able to drive Servo motor from 7V to 25V with build in 5V regulator
- Optional Position Reporting: User may request position of an individual Servo
The 5A Cytron Servo Controller Shield is designed to control 8 independent RC (Remote Control) Servo motors simultaneously in a single board with a built in 5V 5 Ampere switching regulator. Each Servo signal pin is able to generate Servo pulses with duty cycle from 0.5ms to 2.5ms, which is greater than the range of most Servos, further allows for Servos to operate in full range of 180 degrees.
In order to get SHIELD-Servo working, an Arduino compatible main board (Arduino/Genuino UNO, Mega, CT-UNO, CT-ARM, etc) is needed and the interface is serial (UART). The shield also provide alternative control over 6 pin UART with USB to Serial converter UC00A/UC00B/UC00C or other types of microcontroller. UART interface present a flexible, fast and easy to use feature.
